I think we won't real have progress until the non-digital generation dies out. The older part of the population vulnerable to this garbage is the also the part of the population with the most idle time, the most likeliness to vote, and the most money, so it will be the most propagandized to.
- yucky 4y agoIt's weird because it feels like the younger generation is devoid of original thought, and completely lacking in logic. Everything is run on emotion. As a proud member of Gen X, we are definitely the only sane ones :)
- pessimizer 4y agoThe reason they're dumb is because Gen Xers (like us) censored and overprotected their childhoods, and made them dumb. We've doomed them to having to educate themselves on the internet, because we failed to give them accurate knowledge and reasoning skills. Unfortunately, the US government (who saved a few generations from their dumb parents) ceased to care about education after the Soviet Union fell, leading to privatization and homeschooling. For being miseducated, propagandized, and impoverished, I think they turned out relatively well.
